LLBean’s Zip Hunter Bag is the only bag you need

💥 Read this awesome post from WIRED 📖 📂 **Category**: Gear,Gear / Reviews,Gear / Products / Outdoor,Bag Check ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Photography: Michael CalorThe walls of the bag are strong enough, made of 1200 denier polyester, which is durable and waterproof, not to mention so durable that it is almost indestructible. I've checked it as baggage on more than a dozen flights, and it shows no scratches or tears. The zipper at the top is not closed, but it is heavier than it should be and works well in the rain. But what really sets the bag apart is…

Cosmic voids may contain the universe’s best secrets

🚀 Discover this trending post from WIRED 📖 📂 **Category**: Science,Science / Space,Stare Into the Void ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Nature hates a Emptiness, so the saying goes, but no one told the universe. Space is filled with cosmic voids, which are vast areas, mostly devoid of matter, that have opened up between dense threads of matter that form a cosmic web.Far from being vacant outlying regions with little study, these voids may contain solutions to some of the cosmology's most pressing mysteries, such as the behavior of gravity, the nature of dark energy, and the so-called Hubble tension, an…

Josef Prusa (@josefprusa): “BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork, with the same networking binary black box in question today. Why are they willing to burn the goodwill over it?
There’s something most have sensed but never seen it all in one place, the five-law framework China built between 2017 and 2023 ⤵️ So maybe their hand is forced as their “network” is too valuable already? Each law on its own, interesting, okay… Read them together, and add any Chinese company with big reach to the mix you get the complete picture. 1) National Intelligence Law (2017)
All organizations and citizens must “support, assist, and cooperate” with intelligence work. The same law makes it illegal to disclose that cooperation happened. Cooperation is mandatory, and silence about it is mandatory too. 2) Cryptography Law (2020)
Commercial encryption must be state-approved and state-reviewed. When authorities request it, companies must provide decryption keys or plaintext. The state on both sides of that equation is the same one. 3) Data Security Law (2021)
Article 2 gives the state extraterritorial reach over data that touches Chinese national security or public interests. So EU/US data hosting does nothing to make it safe, because jurisdiction follows the company, not the server location. 4) Counter-Espionage Law revision (2023)
The general definition of espionage was expanded to cover “documents, data, materials, or items related to national security and interests.” Industrial data is one of the intended targets since the revision. 5) Network Product Security Vulnerability regulation (2021)
Any company or researcher that discovers a software vulnerability must report it to MIIT within 48 hours. From there it flows to CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database of Information Security), operated by the 13th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security. Microsoft’s threat intelligence team documented Chinese state-hacker zero-day usage rising after this took effect. Shows the willingness to use the “tools” China built. Together they describe a system with no neutral exits. Cooperation is required, encryption is real but the spare keys live at the ministry, jurisdiction follows the company across borders, industrial data is in scope, and discovered vulnerabilities flow to an intelligence agency 😬 3D printing became strategic for China in 2020 and joined the “Made in China 2025” plan soon after. Why does 3D printing matter so much? 1/x”
